Commercial Insurance Account Executive

Commercial Insurance Account Executive
Winchester | £50,000–£80,000 + Car Allowance + Excellent Bonus Scheme

Are your new business figures growing faster than your salary?

Perhaps you feel undervalued by your current broker, your earnings no longer reflect the income you generate, or you are simply ready to join a more ambitious business where your contribution will be properly recognised.

If so, this could be the opportunity you have been waiting for.

CKB Recruitment is working with a rapidly growing insurance broker, who are part of a very well known and well thought of group in the industry. The company now employs approximately 30 people at its Winchester head office and, as well as having an East Anglia operation, and has ambitious plans for continued growth and expansion.

They are now looking for a driven and commercially minded Commercial Account Executive who can win new business, develop lasting client relationships and play an important role in the firm’s continued growth.

A genuine platform for growth
This broker generates a significant flow of high-quality commercial leads, giving you a strong platform from which to create opportunities and grow your own book of business.

There is no requirement to bring clients with you, although naturally any portable business or existing relationships would be welcomed.

You will have the autonomy to identify and pursue new opportunities, build trusted relationships with commercial clients and retain the business you win moving forward.

The role
Your responsibilities will include:

Following up and converting high-quality commercial leads
Identifying and developing new business opportunities
Building strong relationships with key business decision-makers
Understanding clients’ risks and wider insurance requirements
Working with insurers to obtain competitive and comprehensive solutions
Presenting insurance recommendations clearly and professionally
Managing clients through the renewal process
Retaining and developing the business you win
Building a profitable and sustainable book of commercial business
Contributing to the wider growth of the brokerage
This is a genuine Account Executive opportunity offering autonomy, excellent earning potential and the resources needed to succeed.

What they are looking for
You will ideally have:

At least four years’ commercial insurance broking sales experience
A strong track record of winning new commercial business
Experience building and maintaining long-term client relationships
A solid technical understanding of general commercial insurance
Experience dealing with clients across a range of sectors and classes of business
The confidence to generate, develop and convert new opportunities
A proactive, energetic and commercially focused approach
The ability to retain and grow the clients you bring on board
They are looking for someone who wants to become an important part of an ambitious independent broker and contribute to its next stage of growth.

Salary and benefits
The package includes:

£50,000–£80,000 basic salary, depending on experience and track record
Car allowance
Excellent bonus scheme
Death-in-service cover at four times salary
Company pension
25 days’ holiday plus bank holidays.
Free onsite parking
Working hours are Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm, although the business operates with a grown-up “get the job done” approach. They offer hybrid working, 2 days a week from home.

With excellent lead flow, strong earning potential and ambitious plans for further expansion, this is an outstanding opportunity for a successful Commercial Account Executive who wants their results to be properly rewarded.

To discuss the opportunity confidentially, contact Kieran at CKB Recruitment. There is no pressure and no need for an up-to-date CV at this stage.
